Gun/Dev - What origin do people usually go with?

I'm just curious. Do most people go natural with that, or tech? (I'm sure Magic/Mutant/Science are possible. I'm just curious what is normal.)

I think mine was natural. (Just looked... yup, Rose is Natural origin. And been lvl 50 for a long time now)

The usual standard (besides "who cares?") is to think about this: If your character lost their gun and had to pick up some random firearm, would they be nearly as effective?

Yes: Although he has a favored weapon, it's really my character's personal skill in regards to speed and accuracy that makes them deadly with the gun. My character is of Natural origins.

No:
Although he's more skilled than a random cop or gangster, my character's super high-tech weaponry with its tracking devices and specialized rounds is really what makes them as deadly as they are. My character is of Technology origins.

What is "normal" is limited only by your imagination. There is no "normal" in comics :-) One could easily come up with back-stories for any background type that would explain a Gun/Dev blaster.

Go with whatever floats your boat.

I see plenty of AR/Dev and DP/Dev with both tech and natural origins. I think (as Jophiel said) it really comes down to a skill versus gear question. Any Gun/Dev character is technically using both so it's a question of which is more important.

My AR/Dev is Technology since in his case the most important piece of equipment is his power armor.

I have both a 'Normal' and a 'magic' DP/Dev

Normal is just that, some guy with guns and gadgets. His travel power is jumping (About as 'natural' as this game gets)

Other is a person who combines magical items/enchantment on her guns (how eles do you explain how quickly they change out ammo? :P) Her main travel power is flight (also part of the magic origin)

Really though it dosent matter much in the long run.
